Very much enjoyed a walk through York with Sean. He is a good story-teller and I recommend this tour with him.

Alan was our tour guide, his knowledge of York was very impressive and covered a wide range of topics. The negative side was this was a paid private tour and expected the engagement of the tour to be more of a conversation vs a scripted lecture. We are a family of 3 (one of us being a history buff) wanted to ask multiple questions and engage in casual conversations as we walked the streets. We felt rushed going from one stop to the next. Once again Alan was a great group guide and knew a lot about the city but wasn’t as much as a conversationalist from our previous private tour guides.
